Reply to the examples below: #6 - Doctor in Boone: My sister was engaged to one of the more prestigious higher ups in TMO history (but they never married). While she was there, her and my mom lived together. They told me of a doctor from somewhere out west, I think Colarado or California, was going to move to Heavenly Mountain in order to help get the whole Ayur-Ved Clinic going. It was going to be one of the most monumental achievements where some of the most prestigious doctors would start this clinic and get it off the ground. Right after this doctor showed up, with his family....and after shutting down his practice out west, was told that they decided not to set up the clinic in that building, and that the clinic no longer needed that many doctors, and therefore he wasn't needed. I guess there were no contracts, so he couldn't legally do anything about it.
#7 - While I was working at Anna Purna dining facility, one of the managers there, a female, had a daughter in the MSAE and told me about the bake sale and how someone found out the money ended up in India and not for its intended purpose. She also had to confront one of the teachers who tried to reprimand her daughter for not meditating with 'discipline'. She was opening her eyes and looking around. Apparently her mother had to explain to the teacher: "Of course she's looking around, she's 9 years old!!". #8 - Meditators and city workers: It was the same woman that worked in Anna Purna who told me about this. They actually wanted the city to adjust their garbage pickup times so that Roos out in town wouldn't be disturbed by the loud noise of the trucks. Only problem is that if they start late, they finish late which disrupts evening program. The only solution would be to go around 3am, take a break, start again around 8am, then take a break again around 4 or 5, and start again around 7pm. I guess the city never accommodated that request. seekliberation --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "mjackson74" <mjackson74@...> wrote: > > Just a quick question here - the examples you used - did they really happen - > please tell me the MSAE bake sale thing didn't happen??? > > > 6.
